ehc0791 | interest cost = service cost * discount rate, it is not necessary that the interest cost will be lower. |
C2inOC | ehc0791: You may want to check that. Interest Cost = Previous PBO * discount rate |

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
